Over the next couple of months, Dr Japie Coetzee of Coetzees Inc. Attorneys will focus on estate planning and the myriad of issues surrounding this important part of financial planning.

According to Dr Coetzee, there is a misconception that estate planning is only for the very rich, farmers, business owners, or executives, while in fact, planning one’s estate is important for everyone. 

Dr Coetzee will be looking at the issues of what estate planning entails, why it is important, and how estate planning is done.

He will furthermore look at practical issues, such as:

• Antenuptial contracts and their effect on estate planning
• The importance of a Will as part of the estate planning process
• Minors and estate planning
• Insolvency and estate planning
• The legal right of usage and estate planning
• Trusts and estate planning
• What next of kin should do when a loved one dies.
